Exploding white dwarfs observed by the Palomar ... over which a star can explode in a core-collapse supernova and create a neutron star. If a white dwarf is in a binary system with a "normal ...

Dance of Electrons Measured in the Glow from Exploding Neutron-Stars Nov. 4, 2024 — The temperature of elementary particles has been observed in the radioactive glow following the collision of ...

These pairs consist of a neutron star devouring up material from a massive star companion ... and teased out some of the elements present in the exploding material, such as nitrogen, oxygen, and neon.

GRBs are believed to be caused by either the collision of two neutron stars that then form a black hole while exploding in the process, releasing an enormous amount of gravitational waves, or, in the ...

For example, they have helped scientists discover antimatter and the muon, the first evidence for subatomic particles beyond the proton, neutron ... the hearts of exploding stars.

while ultraviolet and X-ray telescopes study high-energy phenomena like black holes and exploding stars. Gamma rays, the most energetic form of light, are produced by the most violent events in the ...

An international team of astrophysicists from China and Australia has for the first time determined how massive neutron stars ...

Physicists have measured a nuclear reaction that can occur in neutron star collisions, providing direct experimental data for a process that had previously only been theorised. The study provides new ...
